History

The plaque on a pier at the Arsenal that mentions a Venetian "galleon" for the first time dates back to 1531: this was a hybrid vessel, equipped both with sails and oars, showing its kinship with the smaller "galleys" by way of a long spur set in the "prow" of the galleon, which over time lost its original offensive function and became a platform from which to maneuver the sails. The Naval Museum of Venice exhibits various miniatures models that reproduce Venetian galleons and all their features in scale. These imposing vessels are depicted in various paintings by some of the most noteworthy artists of the time, including: Canaletto, Luca Carlevarijs, Johann Anton Eismann...
